Christopher Nolan says he saw the original Star Wars 12 times in theaters, and that the movie has had a lasting impact on his filmmaking, leading all the way up to The Odyssey.
"Yeah, absolutely. The first Star Wars," Nolan said in response to Jimmy Fallon asking if it was true. "I mean, that was the event. I mean, it was pre-home video as well. So if you wanted to see it again... You know, there was no VHS machine or whatever. This is 1977. So I absolutely loved that movie and still love it. And yeah, 12 times. I was seven when it came out."
